Episodes 97 & 98 – 1996 Movies: Horror & Best of Year

Posted by Brian Skutle Posted on Dec - 28 - 2021 0 Comment

To close out 2021 on the Sonic Cinema Podcast, we finish our look back at the 1996 movie year with a pair of podcasts.

Normally, we look at horror movies in October, but with Phil Fasso, that’s a year-round job. In the first episode of this duet, we look at three horror films that had big impacts on viewers, and one that probably should be better know. Listen to us as we discuss “The Craft”, “The Island of Dr. Moreau”, “The Ghost and the Darkness” and “Scream”.

In the second episode, I bring in three people to help me look back at the multitude of great and memorable films from 1996, regardless of genre. Returning to the podcast is Mathew Timms with his 10 favorites, while joining the podcast for the first time are Chelsea from the Untitled Cinema Gals Project and actress and podcaster Grace Aki with their respective lists. I’ve been excited about this episode for months.

Included in the discussion are: “Big Night”, “Biodome”, “The Birdcage”, “Bound”, “Citizen Ruth”, “The Crucible”, “Dead Man”, “The English Patient”, “Evita”, “Fargo”, “The First Wives Club”, “The Frighteners”, “From Dusk Till Dawn”, “Get on the Bus”, “Hamlet”, “Independence Day”, “Jerry Maguire”, “Lone Star”, “Mars Attacks!”, “Matilda”, “The Mirror Has Two Faces”, “Mystery Science Theater 3000: The Movie”, “Paradise Lost: The Child Murders at Robin Hood Hills”, “The People vs. Larry Flynt”, “The Portrait of a Lady”, “The Preacher’s Wife”, “Romeo + Juliet”, “Secrets & Lies”, “Set It Off”, “That Thing You Do!”, “Trees Lounge”, “Twister”, “Vertigo”, “The Watermelon Woman” and “The Whole Wide World”.
